It's held by some church historians
that the origin of celibacy among the
Catholic priesthood is to be found in
the rule which required the sacrifice
at any moment of security, settled
habits and life itself by the clergy in
the cause ofhumanity. In the carly
days of the church priest was ex-
pected and required to go out among
the sick and dying, where cholera,
smallpox, the black plague and other
contagious diseases ragged. This wise
and Thoughtful men who guided the
destinies OF the church rightly con-
sidercd II better that men who were
exposed to such deadly dangers should
not leave families, and the measure
ofprudence thus adopted grew into
the rule prohibiting the marriage of
pricsts, which has since prevailed. AS
the causes which originally gave
meaning and force to the regulation
have passed away with the spread of
modern civilization, it may be that
the Pope is really contemplating the
abolition of this requirement. The
duties of the modern priest donot call
for the exercise of this practice with
the same urgency as formerly, and
married priests may be one of the
novel, but natural, incidents of the
near future.-Louisvill Times.

No Fair this Fall.

On account of the difference OF
opinion as TO The best mode of action
necessary TO guarantee a Fair this
fall, aud the heavy expense needed TO
repair the grounds, allhope has about
faded away aud all interest in the
Fair Company has abated. At a
meeting of the stockholders Saturday,
the president, Mr.. G. V. Green, re-
signed, as did also five directors. AS
1t is now getting late there, is not
much probability that new directors
will be, elected and no Fair may
be looked forward to this fall. The
meetings of the Company have al
ways been looked upon as annualreun-
ions for friends of this and adjoining
counties, and il is with regret that
we see it sink. But as the new Driv-
ing Park Co., is now making prepa-
ration for a grand meeting this fall,
probably il may serve the same pur-
pose, only give the people the benefit
of some fine racing.

Hon. Jno. leland withdraws.

The withdrawal of Mr.. Feland
from the race of Attorney General
on the Republican ticket is somewhat
of a surprise. Mr.. Feland's reasons
are, first: That the canvass will
necessarily demand his attention dur
ing July court, and second, the main
reason is, the position of the party on
the Labor question in Kentucky. As
Mr.. Feland introduced a bill into the
Senate favoring the working of con-
victs in mines, which he still endorses
he can not join hands with others on
the ticket, who oppose the opinions
he advocated. Mr.. Feland added
great strength TO the ticket, and his
place will not be easily filed.

idea of ali imposition on the travelling
public.
The American people do not take
kindly TO tips. They are willing 10
pay handsomely and literally for any
service, but TO be obliged 10 pay as a
reward for civilitles. a portion of the
salary of the person who renders them
is always regarded as an imposition
and an outrage.
Thodiscussion regarding the receips
Of sleeping-car conductors shows that
the companies running the cars take
this advantage ofthe generosity ofthe
travelling public by which the salaries
of their porters are paid. A porter
receives SIS a month--not enough to
pay for either his meals ON the road,
his rent, the support of his family, or
the clothes the company compcls him
TO purchase. The living expenses of
this employe of the company must be
made up by the travelingpubli who
in paying for their berths, pay enough
to cover all that porter could be
reasonably asked by the passenger to
do. On a trip to New York pas
senger will pay the porter more
money for perhaps twenty minutes
service than tho companydoes for his
whole time in the care ofits property.
Such an obligation the company
has no right to impose. 1t is unjust
TO the passengers and II is contempti-
bly, mean to the porters, who are un-
der cast-iron rules regulating their
service TO the company. The duties
of the porter are clearly defined, and
If he is asked by passenger to do
something not obligatory oil
him, the passenger should
pay him. But for the passenger to be
asked TO yay so cents for backing his
boots, in order that As cents OF il may
pay the porter for taking care of the
dirty linen at the end of
the route, can be defended on no prin-
ciple of honesty or decency. 1t is
wholly wrong and Ubiquitous and
should be stopped.
